What is the only way to conceptualize the complete Chakra System? The complete system is a metaphysical source comprised of 108 chakras.
The complete system is 66 up and zero for grounding with minus 42 down.
This for a total system of 108 chakras.
Something else which should be understood about the chakra system is that they are grouped into series.
Each series found in the chakra system also relates to a spatial dimension.
Science and spirituality tell us there are 10 spatial dimensions.
What is extremely interesting is that yoga meditation, spirituality, and advancements in metaphysical enlightenment teach that 0-7 relate to 3rd dimension of space (volume, the reality that most people are living in), 8-15 relate to 4th dimension, 16-22 to 5th dimension, 23-30 to 6th dimension, 31-42 to 7th, 43-50 8th, 51-58 9th, and 59-66 10th dimension.
Although most people live in 3rd dimension of reality this does not mean that you can not advance to higher realities, opening more of the complete chakra system and become more enlightened, gain more power, increase health, longevity, deathlessness and even abundance.
The traditional view of the seven human body chakras is a reality.
What happens is when you have realized the opening of the 7th or crown, the next series descends and falls into place.
This sequence continues at the next level of major spiritual realization (when each crown placement open: 7, 15, 22, 30, 38, 50, 58, 66) until the complete system is in place.
The location of the traditional view of the seven major energy centers also are part of the full chakra system.
The first one rests at the coccyx or tailbone.
The second at the sacrum or small of back.
The third in the mid low back.
The fourth chakra at the chest.
Fifth at the throat.
Sixth at brown or where nose meets the forehead, and the seventh at the crown of the head.
Chakra zero and 8, 16, 23, 31, 43, 51, 59 sit at the feet.
Why is there one less chakra in the 5th dimension or reality? That missing space which sits between 18 and 19 is much like a space or divider.
It also sits at position 3 or the lumbar position, and is a metaphysical preventor from achieving Soruba Samadhi.
The extra chakras 39-42 relate to the Omni's (Omnipresence, Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnitempus which simply mean ever presence, all-knowing, all-powerful, and deathless or all-lasting).
